Zhang Yuan's
The Yuhan Gang Attack Part.1
The next day the sun began to rise and the sounds of the animals began to be heard welcoming the morning sun. Zhang Yuan and the two women woke up preparing to continue the journey to Ina City.
In order not to waste much more time, Zhang Yuan picked up the two women and used the Shadow Step Technique to quickly arrive at the City. While on their way they also chose a safe path to avoid the Spirit beast herds.
It did not take 2 days to arrive at the City, thanks to Zhang Yuan's Shadow Steps they finally reached the City gate in the afternoon. After entering the City, Ying’er and Xiao Die invited Zhang Yuan to go around first as well as introduce Ina City.
Xiao Die told me Ina City was one of the hundreds of Cities in the Huangsi Empire. The city has a population of about 1 million. Ying’er and Xiao Die also explained that this City was in the North of the Empire and was under the supervision of one of the Nobles Families.
In the Huangsi Empire there were 5 Noble Families as the honorable and strongest families in the Empire, namely the Purple Lake Family in the North, the Cyclone Wind Family in the South, the Divine Valley Family in the East, and the, The Sacred Fire Family in the West and the Thunder Family are in the middle of the 4 Families. As for the below 5 Noble Families there were 3 Great Families that could be categorized as upper-class Families based on their strength and resources, the Zhuge Family, the Murong Family and the Mingyue Family.
The ancestors of these five Noble Families were the meritorious people in the formation of the Empire. They were comrades in arms of the first Emperor, even they were given the special right to have their own territory and influence over all the families..
After walking around while hearing the story and seeing the rest of the City, they finally reached Xiao Die's house. Zhang Yuan looked surprised to see the state of their house that looked damaged even though the house was quite large.
Looking at Zhang Yuan who looked astonished Xiao Die said “Sorry sir, this is the state of our home. It's been 8 years since my husband died, he left a lot of debt to the local gang. So often they come to collect debts and sometimes destroy the furniture of the house.”
“Ahh is okay, I do not mind this house. If it breaks we just fix it” Zhang Yuan said with a smile.
When you want to enter the house there was the sound of an old man from a distance “Nona Xiao Die you have finally arrived, did you manage to get the medicinal ingredients?” ask the old man.
“Yes our uncle has got it” replied Xiao Die.
“Master Zhang Yuan, this is uncle Hu he is a healer and Alchemist” Xiao Die continued.
“This uncle Hu is Zhang Yuan the person who helped us get the Ganji” medicinal ingredients Xiao Die continued while introducing the two.
Uncle Hu's face turned sour and seemed to dislike Zhang Yuan's presence. Seeing the look on Uncle Hu's face, Zhang Yuan grew more confident in his prediction. Then they immediately entered to check on Ying’er's state.
After the healer left, Zhang Yuan stared and told Xiao Die “I hope that in the future you will be careful of that person. She has an unpleasant aura as long as I see her.”
“But Uncle Hu is a good person, he always helps this family every time we get into trouble. What's more when we deal with Guild members Yuhan.” Said Xiao Die.
Looking at Xiao Die who seemed to believe in Uncle Hu's kindness, Zhang Yuan immediately gave the Jade that had been given the detection seal and said “Take this Jade and put it near you while sleeping, instead, if something bad happens to you guys, I'll find out soon.”
“Alright thank you” said Xiao Die.
At night Zhang Yuan did not sleep with them, as he was cultivating in another room. From outside the house there are 4 people in black robes slipping through the hole of the house. The four of them walked towards Ying’er and Xiao Die's room.
When they were both in deep sleep, 4 black figures appeared to come up to the two women and whispered softly “Hahaha, they were sound asleep due to a long trip. It is time for us to kidnap these two women and bring them to the leader.”
Soon they approached the two sleeping women and were about to kidnap her. Yet suddenly Black Fog appeared and covered the sight of the four of them.
“There's What's this!” said one of the black figures.
“Argh” voice scream one of.
Crass!
Jem!
“Ugh.. Arghh.”.
Hearing the sound of people screaming made Ying’er and Xiao Die wake up. They were shocked and at once frightened, after the fog had disappeared. There were 3 bodies lying on the floor and another person prostrated with a wound to his stomach.
“Aunt what happened!” ying’er shouted in fear.
“Not to worry, I have cleared them all and I leave one more for us to interrogate” said Zhang Yuan who suddenly appeared from the darkness.
After that Zhang Yuan immediately lifted the black figure robe and they were shocked to see who was behind the robe. It turned out that it was Hu uncle the local healer.
“Pa.. uncle Hu?” xiao Die said in shock.
“Now you know the true nature of this man. He is the one who had been planning to take advantage of you both.” Zhang Yuan said as he grabbed the physician furiously.
“I..I did not expect that all this time you were an accomplice of Yuhan” Gang Xiao Die gesturing while cursing Uncle Hu.
Not even a moment to say anything, Uncle Hu finally exhaled his last breath due to the profuse bleeding. Soon afterwards they were about to report the deaths of the 4 figures to the authorities. However Zhang Yuan held them back and said “Don't report it, if this is what you report then Guild Leader Yuhan will find out that his subordinates are dead.”.
Then Zhang Yuan took the loot from their bodies and stuffed the corpses of the 4 people into his spatial ring. The bodies of these 4 people are quite good treasures and may be useful in the future. These people were at the Qi Gathering Stage of layer-2 and layer-3. Zhang Yuan smiled as he got the loot of spirit stones and Martial Techniques despite being only low-level.
Seeing the two women who were frightened because of this. Zhang Yuan calmed them down and continued cultivating next to them. With Zhang Yuan by his side made them feel safe and continued his sleep.
As they were sleeping Zhang Yuan quietly approached and then he threw some jade around them. Zhang Yuan's hand formed a seal that directed his Qi energy into Ying’er's body. Then Ying’er's body shone for a moment. After that Zhang Yuan resumed his cultivation.
The next morning Ying’er and Xiao Die continued their usual routine and hired a builder to repair his house with funds from gold coins given by Zhang Yuan. While all carrying out activities as usual, Zhang Yuan still continued cultivating. Neither Xiao Die nor Ying’er dared to interfere with his cultivation.
Not feeling 2 weeks passed Zhang Yuan's body was seen to emit light and surges of energy burst from his body, it was a breakthrough that Zhang Yuan had made. Zhang Yuan said “Body Formation Layer 4”. Then he opened his eyes and the corner of his mouth was raised. This way Zhang Yuan could finally use the final Technique of the Demon Shadow.
Then Zhang Yuan walked out of the room and approached the two women and asked “Has there been some movement from the Yuhan Gang for a few weeks?”.
“No master all looks fine, as if nothing happened” Ying’er replied.
Then Zhang Yuan asked them again the situation in the City and the influence of this Yuhan Gang. Based on the story of Xiao Die, Geng Yuhan is one of the 3 Gangs that rule the underworld of Ina City with three thousand people. The average member of this Guild was at the Qi Gathering Stage and the leader of this Guild was at the peak of the Soul Gathering Stage, he was known as Boss Jing the mad dog.
On the other hand at the residence of the Yuhan Gang was seen a man reporting to Boss Jing who was sitting on the leader's seat accompanied by the female servants.
“Report mister, our men have not returned in these two weeks. It is thought they may have been caught by local security.”
Hearing the report Boss Jing said “Pfftt! It's just a matter like that you report to me. Don't worry, immediately bring some people to search for their whereabouts.”
“Good tuan” replied the subordinate firmly and left immediately.
At the Xiao Die residence, Zhang Yuan began to think of a plan to deal with the Yuhan Gang. Sooner or later, they will find something strange. Soon Zhang Yuan said to Xiao Die “Is there a slum near here? I'm planning to pick up some 15-year-old homeless kid.”
Hearing the words from Zhang Yuan made Xiao Die startled and asked “What is it that master did that for? The slum was very dirty and disgusting.” looked the look on Xiao Die's face was anxious.
“In order for me to take care of you and deal with the Yuhan Gang in the future then I need to find and build up our residence guard troops. Of course it's a difficult thing. But all you need to prepare is to give them food, then they will happily submit to us.”
Then Zhang Yuan explained again to Xiao Die about him wanting to establish power in this City. After that Xiao Die began to understand their circumstances and agreed to a decision from Zhang Yuan.
